1996 Mongoose Aftershock
1996 Mongoose Aftershock
Another mid-school oddity
I picked up this bike off of ebay and it was in need of some love. The shock mount was cracked so I sent it off to the frame doctor for a repair. I have too many projects right now, so this one is on the back-burner, I just wanted to share. It is a pretty unique design with a "air-shock" that you could pump up for stiffness. In the first picture the frame is shown with a answer pro fork for the "full-suspension" ride. I'll build this up some day and then I'll update the pics.
It's all in the Technique...

Re: 1996 Mongoose Aftershock
I owned two of these. Both ended up locking up and stopped being suspension. Mongoose warrantied both. I got the carbon fiber frame after that... then the carbon Mongoose became a carbon Huffy the next year. I miss my carbon Mongoose. and miss many other bikes. Oh de memories!
